Description 9780061721762

On a blustery night in January 2001, detectives from the Massachusetts State Police knocked on Amy Gleason's door. Gleason, along with fellow nurse Kim Hoy, had helped a patient deal with pain and suffering at the end of her life. Now the patient was dead, and the two nurses were being investigated for murder. Both believed they had done the right thing, but they had no idea what it would cost them. What began on that cold night for Gleason and Hoy was an experience that would forever scar them, but for medical professionals everywhere, their situation-the death, the investigation, and the aftermath-is a by-product of quiet yet forceful ideological battles consuming American hospitals.
